In fact, it is a scrap metal collector that I passed yesterday on a walk around street, it is true that an unusual collection.
Task for you: 1. Where is the iron? 2. Where you can see a retired garden gnome. Find in the photo.
Ps. I will quietly add that creative people have such a pity that it would be a pity to throw away anything, because it can be useful, because they have a thousand ideas for using unnecessary things...

Check where this mysterious entrance leads...

Gallows Mountain in Wrzeszcz, also called Hyclowa and recently Wodociagowa Mountain, because it is adjacent to the Stary Sobieski Water Reservoir, which I wrote about yesterday. For almost 300 years, until 1804, there was a gallows here, on which convicts were hung, although sentences by beheading and breaking bones also took place here. It was deliberately placed on a hill to make it clear in front of the city gates that it is worth obeying in the law.

  • Fun fact: in the 16th century, Oswald Papa, a thief who robbed travelers in taverns, was hanged here. A carpenter took off his pants from the hangman and took him home. He also ended up on a noose for his deed (info A. Masłowski pseudonym prof. Grün, in: as above) Currently, the mountain serves as a viewing point. On its shaded slope, among trees covered with ivy, you can see the remains of pre-war cemetery plaques. Formerly in this place and at ul. Traugutt, where the crematorium also operated, there was an urn cemetery open until 1945.
